Washignton City Paper Cover Story

ewwwww.
 no, i try to take good care of my shoes.  it's something you learn how to do when you are buying expensive shoes.  things like, trying to wear socks and stuff.  keeping your feet clean.  etc.
 i don't wear chucks without socks because if i did, they'd get blisters.  but my chucks don't smell.  sometimes my ballet flats do.  but not my chucks.  as long as you've got proper socks on, you are solid gold.....
 
 
 AND whoever suggested "high end thrift shops"...congratulations!  you know how to throw away your money!
 instead you could like, so totally go to an actual thrift shop and find the same stuff without the markup.  i'd rather get my hands dirty than pay $50 for something i can get for $2.

betty, i'd never pay $50 for a piece of vintage clothing. The ones I'm referring to sell, on average, $12-$20 and they do look good

Shout out to Zubaz yo! haha
 The first thing I thought when I saw those pictures (ESPECIALLY the last 3) is that the designer pictured himself costuming a 80's era ska band that subscribed to an alternative lifestyle.

 For real....those guys look completely silly.  Especially that last guy...those pants look like those wierd pants weighlifters used to wear.  You know the ones with zebra or tiger prints on them?  Seriously he looks like an extra in a Culture Club video.

My time is worth much more to me than the $20 I spend on a shirt.

Not if it saves him hours of picking through Goodwill trash. Time is money!

Seriously....i just don't have time anymore to spend hours and hours digging through clothes that are sorted by color....

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I have enough clothes to last me for the next ten years, except for socks and underwear...
 
 It's baby and children's stuff that I'll be hitting Goodwill for. Like the Baby Jogger Stroller that I got for $15 the other day.

  why don't you guys go to high end vintage shops? are there good ones in the DC area, btw?
 
 don't believe bull930 about k-mart. I go there for toiletries, nothing else.

my point is that you don't have to pay alot of $$$$ to be stylish!

  I realize that you are from Bethesda, and thus your shit don't stink.
 
 But please don't tell me your feet don't stink, because, frankly, I aint buying it.

based on my experience, women's feet just don't stank as much as men's.  maybe it's all the open-toe shoes.  maybe it's men's hairier feet.  maybe it's because the ladies bathe more often.  whatever it is, i can belive that her chucks still smell acceptable (especially if she's never sweats/exercises in them).

womens feet are 10X worse. it's all a matter of cleaning.

it depends on the quality and how much it was originally.

Days after reading the article, I'm still laughing at a 27 year old saying something like this:
 
 

�??People who dress like they just got off a Cancun party boat,�?� he tells me, referring to the dreaded turbo, �??are not the type of people I want to associate with, especially as I transition into full adulthood.�?�

You're 27 and you're still transitioning into adulthood??  Seriously?
